    [font="Arial"][size=2][quote name='PauBass' post='730774' date='Jan 31 2010, 04:58 PM']The overdrive tone of this guy is the best I've heard, for that music. I love it and I'm after a dirty tone like that...Could you, please, elaborate a bit more and reveal more details on how he achieves it? I'd really appreciate it.[/quote] I can indeed... Here is the text of his email... ----- The bass tone I got on Simple Boy was a combination of 2 sounds, and I'm not sure exactly what I did but I'll try remember. I used an Ampeg SVT2 Pro preamp, but through an old SVT2 poweramp (only really because the valves in the the pro were going to sh*t) and then i ran either the ODB-3 or a Tech-21 XXL through it with the gain of the amp up a bit as well. I run the ODB-3 pretty much dry with just a bit of wet so it has clarity. Also, I had a distortion preamp on the DI line that was run through Amplitude 1 (the original one) and that gave it an extra high mid kick. I think there probably would have been a bit of clean DI in there as well. Also the EBS that was on stage (SHEP- when I saw them last in the UK) was Marcus' from Dead By April, I usually use an Ashdown live or Ampeg. ----- Now you may find all of the above a little complex. I ran it by Max @ [sfx] labs not long back and he offered the following 'slightly' easier explanation (hope you don't mind Max)... ----- Jon's signal path sounds pretty complex but if I understand correctly the sounds comes from: bass->valve preamp->XXL/ODB3->EQ (mid boost) in parallel with some other "distortion preamp" + some clean in parallel. ----- Hopefully that helps Shep[/size][/font]

    They are a fantastic band and thier recent album is stunning. Jon is a great player, uses a Warwick Thumb 6. I spent a bit of time discussing his dirty sound via email with him as I was very fond of his overdriven tone on a few tracks. He was very forthcoming with info and not slightly up his own arse about talking to a nobody like me Roll on March when they come back at play Nottingham Rock City!

    16.5 I think. Might be 17... Hard to tell over half a mil! UPDATE - Schecter say it's 16.5. So that's good enough for me!

    [quote name='steve-soar' post='730050' date='Jan 30 2010, 07:52 PM']NIN are amazing[/quote] Yes they are. Trent is a rather talented man I was fortunate to meet them all back stage pre-gig at there last show in Manchester. Was very odd, meeting an idol and all. Had a brief chat about bass with Justin, I recall asking him why he played so many dodgy basses... I recall him pretending he didn't understand the question

    It's all legit. Being a NIN member and supporter (yeah I know), I was notified by all this being sold a while ago. It's basically to fund a mix of a new recording project and a Trent backed charity... There were a dozen or so basses not long back that were sold as 'tour used' and went for supid prices. There was am interesting custom shop stingray, black on black with just a volume dial... No EQ control at all. Apparently with tone set internally for use on a specific track. Shep

    [quote name='cheddatom' post='728847' date='Jan 29 2010, 03:58 PM']Jesus, what a bargain!! I have one exactly the same, except it was a factory 2nd. I got it on ebay 4 years ago for £300 and I thought that was a steal.[/quote] That was a steal! What gets me about these is how they can retail them at £600 max. I've had a lot of basses and played a bucket loads more on top of that and the build quality of these really blows so many other companies out of the water. Many people, myself included often disregard stuff because of the name, but this shows what kind of mark ups people do put on instruments. The quality of build in the body easily blows that of my old Stingray or Sandberg Basic out of the water, and this costs under half. Play one of these if you ever get the chance, they are stunning!

    I find playing a 4 string harder than a 6 :-) I'm strictly a 5'er man I'm afraid. It would be even more gorgeous if I had a proper camera to showcase it with :-)

    THIS IS NOW SOLD... Hi People, I picked this up recently from a fellow basschatter and to be honest it was a bloody bargain! I have however realised that the step to 6 string is not something I'm ready for and would prefer to concentrate on what I know. Given what I paid for this I'm sure I could make a little profit on it as well, but being the genuine person I am I figure someone else can have the bargain I had! I paid £275 for this in cash and its easily worth double, tonally the EQ is great and the through neck construction is up there with some £1k plus basses I have played in the last 12 months. If I'm not mistaken these list at around £600 mark, which is a damn good price as it is, so heres the chance to snap my arm off! So... [u][b]£275[/b][/u] on collection, or will consider a trade for... 5 string fretless of a similar retail value Ashbory bass (with cash my way) 5 string EUB, any make EBS Neo 2x10 or 1x15 Also looking for an EBS (and only EBS!) 3U rack case which I will happily take in part ex if you happen to have one. I do not have a case for this so posting is not an option, it would need to be collection, or arrange a meet up as I would be travelling via train to where ever I go (no car!). Condition is mint, I can't really find a mark on it, its of brand new from the shop condition with one exception... the strap pins seems slightly loose. I would assume the previous owner popped some strap locks in and removed them before he sold it on. As such I would recommend putting some strap locks back in, or a slightly fatter screw to hod the regular pins in, just for security. A minor point, but thought it was well worth noting! Set up with medium-light strings, a nice med-low action, no fret buzz. perfect to pick up and play. I'm in Nottingham for anyone that wants to try it! I apologise for the pics. My Camera has died so these are from my Iphone...

    Cheers guy! Your not wrong... It's bloody awesome. It's here in a few weeks I fear I will of missed the chance to buy what I'm planning on, and in that case I will be keeping this baby! Who knows though...
  21. pantherairsoft
    Bump guys. Someone make me an offer. I'll be making a donation to basschat when this sells too... It's about time I did! Shep
  22. pantherairsoft
    I'd obviously be a little biased, the MarkBass SA450 I'm selling would be perfect... Although in fairness, most of the MarkBass range seems to suit your needs!
